you took your last breath

4 days ago

outside the room

the fish in the tank don't know


they continue to swim about in their little box of a sea

beautiful, like you

innocent, like you

always looking out the glass, like you

always going in small circles, like you

taken for granted, like you


they'll stay that way, each day, as many more people die within those same walls

they could never know what happened, the amazing person you were, or about people at all

i wonder if they know that one day, they too, will go

i think the answer is no

i think they live in peace

and i hope you do, now, too
